Sink Down Roots

The diaspora of the world
temporary citizens
our future in heaven
for eternal birth
For these days
while we walk the earth
to sink down roots
to plan and reap in season
living in the world
Pray for our neighbors
our brothers and sisters in the land
though we are exiles
trusting in God’s plan
Faithful to His command
a witness to His love
offering hope to all we meet
until He comes again
